Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver.

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~122 HP engines burn roughly 9.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 206 L ≈ €385 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

Do I need a sailing licence in Croatia?

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.
